I can confirm this behaviour on my Dell Inspiron 6000 (Intel 915 graphics). Live CD doesn't detect the correct resolution of 1280x800 (it chooses 1024x768) and when I choose this 1280x800 (from the Plug'n'Play monitor), it incorrectly writes 640x480 as the only available res. into xorg.conf, which shows up on X restarting.
dpkg-reconfigure does detect the correct resolution, and fixes this. Curious as to why the native resolution wasn't detected correctly in the first place, as it has been since at least Dapper -- 640x480 Only After Install of Gutsy Tribe5, Compaq C500t, Intel 945 Chipset, Celeron, 512K https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/145896 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
